Absofuckinglutely. I will never ceased to be amazed by people who follow politics and still think an anodyne political statement is some deep revelation.

I thought it was absolutely clear. “Real primary” for those people means one where Biden loses and their candidate wins, which was never happening.

“There wasn’t a real primary because my preferred candidate recognized that they couldn’t beat Biden.” This isn’t qualitatively different from Trump saying any election he loses was rigged.

If Biden or Harris wins, I think there’s a very good chance that Vichy SCOTUS tries to hand the election to Trump. If that happens, we’ll see violence nationwide. So what would Biden do? I have no idea, and that’s one of many things that’s been keeping me up at night.

I’ve seen a number of doofuses insist that Biden is indistinguishable from Reagan.

Yes, and they'll say that right up until he drops out (if he drops out, and I have no idea if he will). The problem is lots of other Dems are still running to the media and saying "Biden should/will drop out." That needs to stop.

Not just lying -- this is gibberish. All he needed to say was "I'm not involved with Project 2025 and I'm opposed to their goals." Instead, he had to add the obvious contradiction. Biden wouldn't say something this stupid.

It's nothing like that.
You can't call the Prime Minister, whose last name is Starmer, "Prime Minister Starmer?"

Three obvious truths about the election: 1. A brokered convention is political suicide and you can permanently ignore anyone pushing for it. 2. Starting a campaign now is v. difficult, so Kamala may or may not be stronger than Biden. 3. The longer this indecision continues, the more it helps Trump.

But he's going to open the files! Are you opposed to file opening? Everyone knows that the mere act of opening the files immediately resolves conspiracy theories!

Agree! Not only is he completely incoherent and telling stories about electric boats and sharks, he also was convicted of 34 felony counts, found liable for raping and smearing a woman, incited a coup, and was given dictatorial powers by his hand-picked SCOTUS. Wait, you're writing about BIDEN?

Agree with all of this, except I'm skeptical that this will really help Trump. The fact remains that he campaigned on striking down Roe, and "leaving it to the states" means "letting red-state Republicans ban abortion completely." Also, I doubt any pro-choice voter trusts Trump.

Well, I'd say that most right-wing "Christians" completely ignore the words of Christ in favor of random sections from Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Paul, and Revelation.

Those records are redacted so I think there’s very little chance that we’d get to see what he did, unless he’s indicted.

Thanks for the word salad. It’s really helpful since SCOTUS told Trump dictatorship is legal.

The records were absolutely released, although they’re redacted. I can’t find any evidence that Trump is in those.

I don't think anyone who knows anything about boy bands and the Pistols would say the latter were an example of the former. That's just not a serious claim.

Sources vary, but most seem to agree that on this day 40 years ago, Minutemen’s Double Nickels On the Dime was released. I could write a book about what this album has meant to me, the many portals it has opened. How so many the values and aesthetics I treasure in art can be traced back to my (1/?)

Were any assassinations (attempted or otherwise) besides Garfield based on a political calculation? Not Reagan, Kennedy, McKinley, T. Roosevelt.

This isn't a helpful statistic. No president has even been the target of a serious assassination attempt in 43 years. No one has been murdered in 60 years -- because security has gotten much better. Not saying it couldn't happen, only that these numbers are deceptive.

It's one thing to be stupid enough to think "I know you are but what am I" is a serious response. It's another thing to be so fucking braindead that you can't see it makes no sense. Now it's time for you to join your crew in the Land of Muted Imbeciles. Bye!

There's a certain type of online pseudo-progressive who goes purely on vibes and thinks the best form of political action is vacuous performative bullshit. A few of them decided to go after Chris.
